Swiss Alpine Museum

Thanks to Dimension’s 3D technology, the Swiss Alpine Museum can create models of the 3,970-meter (13,000 feet) Eiger or the Matterhorn, the seventh-highest mountain in the Alps at 4,478 meters (14,700 feet), in just a few hours. These spectacular peaks are a challenge not only for the relief builder, but also for the Dimension 3D printer. To create a model of the Eiger using a 3D printer, the museum specifies a section; in a second step, the Topographical Institute in Bern sends it to Proform AG as a digital map. Proform then prepares this map as 3D CAD data for the Dimension 3D printer.
